About the course

The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Ultrasound is a fully online program developed by the Ultrasound Education Group (UEG) for medical professionals seeking advanced capability in using ultrasound in clinical practice. It develops skills in generating ultrasound images and transthoracic echocardiography, with an introduction to transesophageal echocardiography. The course aligns with industry standards and is typically eligible for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points and may be reimbursed as Continuing Medical Education (CME).

What you might learn

Students build specialised knowledge and practical capability to perform and interpret clinical ultrasound in a range of medical contexts. The course aims to strengthen competence in image acquisition and foundational echocardiography techniques, supporting safer and more effective patient management. It also aims to broaden clinicians’ scope of practice by integrating ultrasound decision-making into everyday clinical workflows.

Career outcome

Graduates can apply enhanced ultrasound and echocardiography skills within their existing clinical roles, particularly in perioperative care, critical care, emergency medicine, surgery and internal medicine. The program is relevant for rural and general practice, anaesthesia, emergency medicine, cardiology and other medical specialties where point-of-care ultrasound supports diagnosis and management. Skills gained may support expanded responsibilities in ultrasound-assisted assessment and interpretation in hospital and community healthcare settings.
